  • 두 대의 동일한 H-bridge 모듈로 구성되는 Cascaded H-bridge 멀티레벨인버터는 출력전압에 5-레벨을 형성할 수 있으며 출력전압의 THD를 개선시키기 위해 PWM 스위칭을 적용할 수 있다. 출력필터 사이즈를 줄이기 위해 PWM 스위칭 주파수를 높일 수 있지만 스위칭 손실이 증가하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 경우 스위칭 손실을 저감시킬 수 있는 변형된 스위칭 패턴을 제안한다. Cascaded H-bridge 멀티레벨인버터의 특성을 고려하여 하단 H-bridge 모듈의 스위치는 기본 출력전압 레벨을 형성하도록 동작시키며, 상단 H-bridge 모듈 스위칭에 의한 출력값이 기본 전압레벨에 가감되어 PWM 출력전압 형성하도록 동작시킨다. 제안된 스위칭 패턴을 Cascaded H-bridge 멀티레벨인버터에 적용하여 기존 스위칭 방법과 비교 분석한다.

  • The cascaded multilevel converter is widely adopted to medium/high voltage and high power electronic applications due to the small harmonic components of the output voltage and the facilitation of modularity. In this paper, the operation principle of a T-type H-bridge topology is investigated in detail, and a carrier phase shifted pulse width modulation (CPS-PWM) based control method is proposed for this topology. Taking a virtual five-level waveform achieved by a unipolar double frequency CPS-PWM as the output object, PWM signals of the T-type H-bridge can be obtained by reverse derivation according to its switching modes. In addition, a control method for the T-type H-bridge based cascaded multilevel converter is introduced. Then a single-phase T-type H-bridge cascaded multilevel static var generator (SVG) prototype is built, and a repetitive controller based compound current control strategy is designed with the DC-link voltage balancing control scheme analyzed. Finally, simulation and experimental results validate the correctness and feasibility of the proposed modulation method and control strategy for T-type H-bridge based cascaded multilevel converters.

  • Cascaded H-bridge 멀리레벨인버터는 출력전압 레벨 수를 증가시켜 고전압 응용이 가능하도록 하는 전력변환장치로 모듈화 특성이 우수하여 그 활용 범위를 넓혀가고 있다. 출력 전압레벨 수를 증가시켜 보다 정현파에 가까운 양질의 출력전압을 생성하기 위해서는 스위칭 소자와 입력 전압원 개수의 증가로 인해 회로구조와 제어방법이 복잡해지는 문제가 발생한다. 하지만 스위칭 여유율(Redundancy)에 따른 대체 스위칭 패턴의 적용으로 전체 시스템의 신뢰성을 개선시킬 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 고장나무 분석을 통해 Cascaded H-bridge 멀티레벨 인버터의 위험도를 계산하고 스위칭 여유율과의 관련성을 분석하고자 한다.

  • 본 논문에서는 다중 반송파 정현 펄스폭 변조방식으로 제어되는 Cascaded H-bridge 멀티레벨 PWM 인버터의 스위칭 손실 저감을 위한 스위칭 패턴을 제안한다. 부하 담당 전력이 상대적으로 큰 H-bridge 모듈의 스위치는 저주파의 기본 출력 전압 레벨을 형성하도록 동작시키며, 부하 담당 전력이 상대적으로 작은 H-bridge 모듈의 스위치는 고주파의 PWM 파형을 기본파에 가감하여 출력전압 파형이 사인파에 가까워지도록 스위칭 패턴을 형성한다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 스위칭 패턴을 PD, APOD 방식의 다중 반송파 정현 펄스폭 변조방식으로 구현하여 Cascaded H-bridge 멀티레벨 PWM 인버터에 적용시키고 실험을 통해 기존의 스위칭 패턴에 비해 스위칭 손실이 개선됨을 증명한다.

  • It presents an efficient switching pattern, which expects a reduction of switching losses in a cascaded H-bridge PWM multilevel inverter. By the proposed switching scheme, the lower H-bridge module operates at low frequency of 60[Hz] because it assigns to transfer most load power. The upper H-bridge module operates at high frequency of PWM switching to improve THD of output voltage. The proposed switching pattern applies to cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter with PD, APOD, bipolar, and unipolar switching methods. By computer-aided simulations, we verify the validity of the proposed switching scheme. Finally, we prove that the proposed PD and APOD switching patterns are better than those of the conventional one in efficiency.

  • In this paper, analysis of cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter in DTC-SVM (Direct Torque Control-Space Vector Modulation) based induction motor drive for FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) is presented. Cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter uses multiple series units of H-bridge power cells to achieve medium-voltage operation and low harmonic distortion. In FCEV, a fuel cell stack is used as the major source of electric power moreover the battery and/or ultra-capacitor is used to assist the fuel cell. These sources are suitable for utilizing in cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter. The drive control strategy is based on DTC-SVM technique. In this scheme, first, stator voltage vector is calculated and then realized by SVM method. Contribution of multilevel inverter to the DTC-SVM scheme is led to achieve high performance motor drive. Simulations are carried out in Matlab-Simulink. Five-level and nine-level inverters are applied in 3hp FCEV induction motor drive for analysis the multilevel inverter. Each H-bridge is implemented using one fuel cell and battery. Good dynamic control and low ripple in the torque and the flux as well as distortion decrease in voltage and current profiles, demonstrate the great performance of multilevel inverter in DTC-SVM induction motor drive for vehicle application.

  • Photovoltaic energy conversion becomes main focus of many researches due to its promising potential as source for future electricity and has many advantages than the other alternative energy sources like wind, solar, ocean, biomass, geothermal etc. In Photovoltaic power generation multilevel inverters play a vital role in power conversion. The three different topologies, diode-clamped (neutral-point clamped) inverter, capacitor-clamped (flying capacitor) inverter and cascaded h-bridge multilevel inverter are widely used in these multilevel inverters. Among the three topologies, cascaded h-bridge multilevel inverter is more suitable for photovoltaic applications since each pv array can act as a separate dc source for each h-bridge module. This paper presents a single phase Cascaded H-bridge five level inverter for grid-connected photovoltaic application using sinusoidal pulse width modulation technique. This inverter output voltage waveform reduces the harmonics in the generated current and the filtering effort at the input. The control strategy allows the independent control of each dc-link voltages and tracks the maximum power point of PV strings. This topology can inject to the grid sinusoidal input currents with unity power factor and achieves low harmonic distortion. A PID control algorithm is implemented in Arm Processor LPC2148. The validity of the proposed inverter is verified through simulation and is implemented in a single phase 100W prototype. The results of hardware are compared with simulation results. The proposed system offers improved performance over conventional three level inverter in terms of THD.

  • 본 논문은 Cascaded H-bridge 멀티레벨 인버터의 출력 전압 레벨 수의 증가를 위한 모델과 스위칭 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 모델은 기존의 Cascaded H-bridge 멀티레벨 인버터 구조에서 각 H-bridge 모듈의 출력단에 변압기를 연결하고, 변압기 2차측을 직렬로 연결한 모델이다. 이 구조에서 다수의 변압기의 턴비는 동일하고, 1개의 변압기 턴비만이 다른 턴비를 갖게된다. 따라서 1개의 변압기 턴비를 조절하여 출력전압의 전압 레벨수를 증가시킬 수 있다. 스위칭 방법은 기존에 멀티레벨 인버터에서 주로 사용되는 Level-shifted PWM 방식을 이용하여 간단하게 구현할 수 있다. 제안하는 모델의 검증을 위하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 제안하는 모델의 타당성을 확인한다.
